leo. The leaders collected money
and bought a vast tract of land and
paid cash for it in gold. They in.
tended old Brigham Young to rise
from the grave and to order his
faithful to depart to Mexico. But
when they examined the land they
found the Mexicans had cheated
them and sold them a lot of noun
tains. SO great was the chagrin of
the elder, that the exodus was
postponed and Brigham Young did
not rise.'
"You remember" said the Utah
gentleman, "what Game, the Utah
delegate, said in an interview, not
long since, about the passage Of
this bill 7 He said something would
happen soon, which would change
the whole complexion Of things

meant Brigham Young's resurrec-
zion, for the MOrmOns in Utah have
been preaching that since his death.

Game speaks of. The supposed re-
mains Of Brigham Young we're
buried in a sepnlcher modelled after
the one used for Our Saviour. This
great stone was placed before the
tomb to prevent any one getting
into it. Besides, the sepnlcher is
in the Temple grounds. / believe
it was the intention for Brigham
Young to get back to that tomb,
and at the appointed time have the
stone rolled away and appear. AS
the tomb Is in the Temple grounds
no one could see the preparations.
Why is this time selected for the
resurrection 2 Because the Nor
mons are in great trouble. The
bill just passed Congress kills them
as a sect. Their unfortunate in
vestment in Mexico will have to be
made known, and it is their plan
now to move TO the Sandwich Is
lands. They fear annexation il

no need for Brigham Young to APP
pear before now; but he is wanted
and they are preparing for the res
urrectiOn,' but the silly farce is get
ting rather old to be believed by
many. The MOrmons, however,
are so desperate that they will dc

Few persons outside of tobacco
growing States realize the burden
that the revenue laws impose upon
the farmers. One of the largest
tobacco merchants in Virginia In
conversation with reporter of the
National Republicans recently said :;
''Now, farmers generally are poor.
In my State great many of them
do not produce as much as a hogs
head of tobacco. If the tax were
repealed the farmer who raises q
few hundred pounds of tobacco
could take it to his merchant and
exchange it for the necessaries OF
life, or he could sell it in small
quantities whenever he requires
ready money. Under the law he
can only sell it 60 a licensed dealer
in leaf tobacco. 1t mag he many
miles to the nearest licensed dealer,
and it costs the farmer money and
the use of his team to get his little
crop to a licensed dealer. With
the law repealed tobacco would be
almost a circulating medium In the
country where it is raised. Many
a farRer would then, in addition tC
his other crops, raise small quan
tity of tobacco because of the
facility with which lac could gel
money or the nccessaries OF llft
for it. 1t is unjust to tax one agrl
cultural product while Others are
free, as the bardships of the Law
falls entirely upon the poor farm

Adventures Of a Safe.

At three o'clock on Saturday

Office of DR.. J. G.. Hillegrass, of
Pennsburg, Pa, and secured a safe

and papers valued at over $4,000.

Fortunately, no serious damage
was done to the train. The safe
was returned to its owner.

Every few weeks Mr.. J. s. Moore,
or some other Free Trade writer,
repeats the threadbare story that
the steel-rail manufacturers of this
country have added to their profits
the difference between the present
price and the very low prices of
two years ago. These professional
slanderers purposely ignore the
fact that the advance in the price
Of steel rails has been accompanied
or preceded by an advance in the
prices Of all the raw materials
which enter into their production
pig iron, iron ore, coal, coke, etc.;
by an advance in wages, averaging
fally 20 per cent. since rails touched
their lowest point two years ago ;
and by an advance in freight rates
on both the raw materials and the
finished product. Another fact
which they always suppress Is this,
that when steel rails were sold at
the low prices Of two years ago
they we're either sold at loss or
absolutely without any profit

Brigham Young's return to earth
after an absence of nearly nine
wears and a half is the most nat
ural thing in the world. OF man
who felt on sufficiently intimate
terms with the ruler of the uni
verse to set up a branch office for
the conduct of a part of its affairs,
such a miracle was quite to be ex-
pected. The wonder is that he
should take so roundabout a means
of making his resurrection known.
II he had ordered the assembling
of the faithful at his private grave
ward on the hillside at Salt Lake
city, and had climbed out Of his
tomb in their presence, it would
have been twice as effective from
a dramatic point Of view, and there
would have been more people ready
10 believe in his identity. How
ever, he has chance left for max
inc good his claim. he cannot re-
main forever on the earth now that
he has returned to it, and the man
ner of his second and positively
final departure will have much to
do with the place he is to take in
history as compared with Moses
and Elijah, Buddha Sakyamuni
ard MahOmet, Romulus and the
rest of the great prophets and
founders. He cannot afford to die
and be buried like common men,
even double the allotted number OF
times. He must be caught mp
from earth, at the very least and
there are persons in the United
States irreverent enough to believe
that, il the fate which befel Bishop
Lee ten years ago had reached its
proper destination, the first exit of
Mr.. Young would have been by the
aerial route, at the end of hempen
rope.

WASHINGTON, January 81. }


The MOrmOns in the city watch.
ing the Edmunds Anti.POlygamy
bill, which has passed both branches
of Congress and is now in confer
ence committee, are quite excited
over the dispatches from Nebraska
IN tO-day's papers in regard to
Brigham Young's reported scheme
of resurrection. Delegate Game,
from Utah, Of course, denies the
story of the old man who had
charge of the house near Lincoln,
Neb., and who claims to be the
author of the story about Brigham
Young being concealed there. Mr..
Caine says he saw the Mormon
leader buried and placed IN the
tomb with tentOn stone over the
entrance, and does not doubt but
that Brigham Young is dead. But
another story comes from a resident
of Utah, which gives plausibility
to the Nebraska report. This gen
tleman says that, as everyone
knows, the death of Brigham Young
was most mysterious, the arrange.
ments for the funeral were conduct
ed with the greatest privacy, and it
was not until the body was laid out
was any one allowed to see it.
"Now,' said the gentleman from
Utah, "the body in the coffin shown
to the few was an ingeniously pre-
pared wax figure. a Frenchman
was brought from France some time
before the reported death of Young
and set to work to make a llfellke
head and body of the Mormon
prophet. AS the figure was to rep
resent him after death, the French
man found it rather an easy job,
and so remarkably we'll done was
the work that the figure deceived
many who saw It. When it became
time for Young 'to die this figure
was prepared for burial. The sub
Sequent observation-disclosures arrange
ments, together with the strange
death, all can be easily recalled

figure was shipped back to his ma
tive country, and the MOrmons
watched him well, Although this
guard was kept mp, the man told
his secret said the Utah Citizen,
"and 1t was published, but the Nor
mons managed to keep it from wide
circulation, The real reason for
Young's Disappearance from the
earth was resurrection. The
Mormons thought that the United
States government would give them
trouble ere this. They made every
arrangement for an exodus to Mex
